To determine if you will be able to use the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Spoke Wheel # AM32161 you will need to verify you still have enough clearance with the slightly larger tire. The 205 is 0.4" wider and 0.6" taller. You will want to see 1-1/4" of sidewall clearance on your current tire and for vertical clearance you will need 3-3/8" of clearance for the suspension to travel.
I do recommend switching all of your tires to the larger size as it is best to not mix and match tire sizes even with a spare. We do have the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10235 separate from the wheel that you will be able to mount on a 14" by 5" to 6-1/2" wide wheel.
